She was afraid of him.
Fu Qinglun froze on the spot. He felt as though there was a knife stabbing into his heart, twisting and turning, making him wish he was dead.
He felt that from now on, the furthest distance between them would be these two steps. He would never be able to reach her again.
At this moment, Mama Lin's vision darkened and she fainted.
"Mom!"
…
In the hospital.
Mama Lin was wheeled out of the operating theater. Lin Shiyu quickly walked in front. "Doctor, how's my mother?"
The doctor removed his mask. "The patient has been saved, but the patient's life has entered a countdown. She doesn't have much time left."
Lin Shiyu's pretty eyes narrowed. Her mother's life had entered a countdown.
Why? Why was it that she couldn't stop her mother from leaving even though she had tried so hard?
She knew that her mother's health hadn't been good all these years. The doctor said that it was a miracle that her mother was able to live for so long. She knew that her mother just wanted to accompany her for a little longer.
In this world, she and her mother were the only ones left to depend on.
But her mother didn't have much time left.
In the future, she would be the only one left.
Lin Shiyu's pretty eyes were covered with a layer of red. All these years, she didn't allow herself to be weak. She felt that she was strong enough to protect her mother, but at this moment, she was still that little girl.
A little girl who needed her mother.
Biting down on her red lips with her white teeth, she turned around, preparing to enter the ward.
But the moment she turned around, she saw a tall figure. It was Fu Qinglun.
He had been standing behind her all this while, watching her.
Now his cold gaze landed on her red eyes. His handsome face was filled with pity and heartache. He should be wanting to hug her.
Lin Shiyu's hands slowly clenched into fists. The memory that was hidden by the hypnotist had been awakened. She recalled everything.
It was exactly the same as yesterday's nightmare. She was swimming with all her might in the water. When her fair hands hugged his waist, she saw his handsome face.
— -Big Brother, what are you doing?
— -Big Brother, it hurts.
— -Ah!
Little Shiyu was torn into two. The handsome man in front of her had already turned into a demon.
Lin Shiyu turned her face away. So it turned out that they had an ill-fated relationship.
She walked into the ward.
…
In the ward.
Mama Lin was already awake. Lin Shiyu fetched a basin of hot water. "Mom, let me help you wipe your face."
Mama Lin seemed to have aged many years in an instant. She held onto Lin Shiyu's soft hand, tears rolling down her cheeks.
At this moment, time seemed to have returned to many years ago, to the darkest days of the mother and daughter.
The whole world was aching.
There was no way out.
Lin Shiyu quickly used a warm towel to wipe her mother's tears. "Mom, don't cry. I'm already a grown-up. I can take responsibility for my own life now."
She didn't need her mother to bear her life, and she didn't need her mother to bear her pain.
Mama Lin's tears streamed down her face. She clenched her fists and pounded on the bed. She was filled with remorse and pain. "Why … why did it have to be … Fu Qinglun?"
At this moment, she heard steady footsteps. Fu Qinglun had entered.
He looked at the mother and daughter in pain. He didn't witness that period of time with his own eyes, and he didn't stay by their side, but he could already imagine how sad they were at that time.
The world was a river of sorrow.
When Mama Lin saw Fu Qinglun, she became agitated again. "Why are you here? Get out, I don't want to see you. Scram!"
"Shi 'shi was so young at that time, how could you bear to hurt her? You b * stard!"
"You're the one who ruined Shi 'shi's happiness when she was young. You're the one who ruined Shi' shi's childhood!"
Mama Lin lifted the basin of water and smashed it onto Fu Qinglun's body.
Fu Qinglun didn't move. The hot water splashed onto his body, and a large patch of his sweater and trousers was soaked. The basin of water smashed onto his forehead, and there was a loud thud. A patch of skin instantly appeared on his forehead.
This man had never been in such a pathetic state in his life.
"Mom, I'm sorry …"
I'm sorry.
He knew that this' sorry 'was too cheap, but other than apologizing, he didn't know what else he could say.
"Fu Qinglun, get out. Don't agitate my mother anymore. I'm begging you, don't appear in front of us again!"
Lin Shiyu stretched out her hand and pushed Fu Qinglun out.
Fu Qinglun stood outside the door, and the door was about to close in front of him. He stretched out his large palm to hold the door, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Shi 'shi, don't you want me anymore?"
Lin Shiyu didn't say a word. She pried his large palm away and closed the door.
Fu Qinglun froze outside the door, and his handsome eyes slowly turned red. This was the first time in his life that he was engulfed by a sense of helplessness.
…
At night.
Mama Lin had fallen asleep. Lin Shiyu walked out of the ward, and at this moment, she heard a hoarse voice. "Shi 'shi, have some food. You haven't eaten for the entire day."
Lin Shiyu turned back, and saw that Fu Qinglun was holding the dinner from the restaurant outside. He hadn't changed his clothes, and his sweater and trousers were already dry, but there was a wet stain on his clothes. He looked like an aristocrat who had fallen from grace.
Placing the dinner on the chair, he said gently, "These are all your favorite dishes, Shi 'shi, eat them while they're hot."
Lin Shiyu turned around to leave.
But before she could leave, a large palm grasped her slender wrist, and forced her to stop in her tracks.
Lin Shiyu couldn't stand his touch, and almost reflexively flung his large palm away. "Fu Qinglun, let go!"
Fu Qinglun didn't let go of her. He lowered his eyes and looked at her ravishing face. His dark red lips curved slightly. "Shi 'shi, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I mistook Lu Qi' er for you."
"I really deserve to die. How could I have mistaken you for someone else? If I had recognized you earlier, I would have spent all my time with you, and protected you. That way, you and your mother wouldn't have to suffer so much.
"We could have had a different ending, but we wasted time and missed each other.
"Shi 'shi, can you give me another chance? I was also a victim back then, isn't it very unfair and cruel for you to put all your hatred on me? I'm afraid I can't bear it."
Lin Shiyu's pretty eyes became redder, and she kept struggling, wanting to slap his large palm away, but the man held her tightly in a stubborn manner.
"Fu Qinglun, if you really feel a tinge of guilt towards me, then please leave, and don't ever appear again."
